IReland does not have a prime minister or deputy prime minister. The equivalent of a prime minister in Ireland is known as a Taoiseach and the deputy is known as the Tánaiste. The last Tánaiste was Mary Coughlan - 2007-2011. The present Tánaiste (April 2011) is Eamonn Gilmore.
Jack Lynch had two separate times as Taoiseach. In his 1966 to 1969 cabinet, Erskine Childers, later to become the President of Ireland, was Minister for Transport & Power and Posts & Telegraphs. In his 1969 to 1973 cabinet, Brian Lenihan was Minister for Transport and Power. Post and TElegraphs was a separate ministry at that period. Brian Lenihan was moved to another ministry in March 1973 and his position was taken by Michael O'Kennedy. From 1973 to 1977 Jack Lynch was out of government. His second period as Taoiseach began in July 1977. From then until Jack Lynch resigned in December 1979, Pádraig Faulkner held the ministry for Posts & Telegraphs and Transport & Power.
